- 2. Count down

| 1. Count up This can start from the first lesson of a beginners class at any age. With
littleuns you will need to make sure you use your fingers so they actually know what it means, and you can then use a louder and louder voice to reinforce the meaning of bigger and bigger numbers and to add some fun. Starting crouched in a little ball and then growing until you have your arms stretched out as high as you can when you reach ten has the same effect. With older groups you can play ―Fizz Buzz‖, where all multiples of three are replaced with the word ―fizz‖ and when they have got the hang of that all the multiples of five are replaced with ―buzz‖. This adds some fun to the endless drilling that can be needed, and helps students count automatically in English without needing to translate. 2. Count down The ―Growing Numbers‖ game from Count Up above can also be used when students are ready in maths and language terms to count down. In this case they start standing tall and move down and get quieter until they are totally curled up in a ball as they say ―one‖. You can also count down to show a time limit for any games and activities, and move onto getting the students to count down as quickly as they can while the other team is making an attempt at whatever game you are playing.

Big numbers/ count in steps The next stage is to count in steps of (in approximate order of difficulty) ten, five, two, a hundred, three, a thousand etc. This helps students move towards being able to use numbers in English without counting from ―one‖ every time and without translating. Possible problems at this stage include the difference in pronunciation between 15 and 50, the positioning and meaning of commas with big numbers, and the use of ―and‖ in ―a hundred and five‖ in British English. The simplest game for counting in stages is just to challenge each other to count quickly without making a mistake, with a ball to throw adding fun and speeding things up. If you don‘t use a ball you can add gestures that students use to say the person next to them should give the next number in the sequence, the next person should be skipped, the direction of the counting should change etc, similar to drinking games. жүктеу/скачать 8,11 Mb.
